BBS said they do not powder coat the type of wheel I have because of the temperatures involved and don't recommend doing a powder coat.

Having said that, I have a set of Ray's forged alloys on my Nissan 350Z and powder coated them years ago without problems...
That's pretty much what I was getting at. Although it may be fine, the risk (for me) is not worth it. I "drive" my car and don't want any failure on the road, at the track, or anywhere for that matter.

Cup car, aren't your Rays forged magnesium?
